PUBLISHED
CVSS 5.300000190734863 MEDIUM
Record from OSV · Published November 21, 2024
A flaw was found in the Avahi-daemon, where it initializes DNS transaction IDs randomly only once at startup, incrementing them sequentially after that. This predictable behavior facilitates DNS spoofing attacks, allowing attackers to guess transaction IDs.
